[A/N: NYAHAHAHA! It's barely been a week, yet your Overlord has arrived with YET ANOTHER CHAPTER! I bet you all were thinking: "Oh, our dear, dear Overlord gave us 3 chapters all at once a mere few days ago... He will surely take a break to rest his weary, anxious mind!"
But no! Your Overlord needs no rest! Ignore how this was supposed to be a Pretender chapter, I wrote 2-3k words on Pretender and then was like 'what if I wrote a few hundreds words on AoI- oops, teehee, chapter done in 2 days.]
[Anyway, last minute note... People who enter the Very Anxious tier will now be getting a roll on the Celestial Grimoire because I found out that I like money and it is a great motivator. Kriegan, your almighty Anxiety Overload has taken the first non Beta/me roll. Gimme money! (Kidding... Heh.)]

[100 CP Acquired!]
Agito’s eyes drooped as he continued speeding through the rough, roadless ground while enduring the bumps and rattles of the path. He drove for what felt like hours nonstop, not stopping no matter what, as he wasn’t sure how fast Salem and her Grimm were and how long they’d be held back by Summer and her invulnerability.
The fact that Salem hadn’t already caught up with him reassured him that she hadn’t just broken her word and attacked Summer, which was always a plus in his books.
But he couldn’t allow himself to relax…
Not when he hadn’t received an achievement for surviving such a situation yet.
Agito refused to believe he wouldn’t gain at least 100 CP from surviving an encounter with the Queen of Grimm. If she wasn’t the absolute final boss of this world, then she was at least the massive crisis that was only overshadowed at the very end by the shadow antagonist that was hidden from the protagonists until the moment they defeated Salem.
Just as Agito’s ears began drooping to show his exhaustion, his eyes widened as his Photonic Vision alerted him of something peculiar in the distance. He was currently driving through a dense forest in an effort to throw off any pursuers, which meant he was going at a slow enough pace that he could notice little magical and temporal signatures.
Signatures similar to the one he felt from the cave in the distance.
Speeding up, Rocket quickly shot forward as Agito’s eyes remained glued to the unnatural energy he sensed from the cave he was speeding towards.
It was only today that he first sensed the unique properties of Dust and Temporal energy, yet it was unmistakable before his eyes. There was undoubtedly a large concentration of Temporal Energy fleeting inside that cave, powered only by a resonating bundle of raw, high-quality Dust.
Now, did this mean that Agito should risk jumping into such a concentration of Temporal energy that is not dissimilar to the one he was threatening to create against Salem?
No, but Agito didn’t have many other choices at the moment. It was either this or he’d stop and take a nap under his Relic of Treasures, Salem be damned. And while the former may have had a chance to kill him a painful, miserable death…
It also proposed a way for Agito to possibly escape to a safer area, away from where Salem knew he could be.
… There was also the chance that he just appeared in front of Salem after entering the Temporal Rift he sensed, but if that was what the universe willed, then so be it.
Agito needed a trashcan to sleep in, and he needed it now.
“ROCKET, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOU!” Agito confessed mere moments before launching into the cave, finding no path below him as the entrance led directly into the ground without a clear road down. “Summer is okay too-”
BLIP!
Agito never got to finish what he wanted to say as he was engulfed in intense Temporal Energy. He disappeared into the Rift of Time as the Dust crystals surrounding it shone briefly before crumbling completely after Agito used the Temporal energy fueling their resonation.
The Rift that was shining proudly a mere moment ago slowly closed, leaving no trace of its existence behind as the previously dim cave darkened completely until there was no hint of light left inside…
Silence.
…
…
[On the other side of the world…]
[POV Switch]
“Hmm…” A mature woman hummed softly as she worked, carefully plucking berries with practiced ease amidst a light breeze in the morning sun. Her black robes swayed in the air as she moved, contrasting quite beautifully with her slightly tanned skin.
Her feline ears twitched as she sensed something was amiss, an unnatural occurrence, no doubt. She knew there shouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary at this time of day, not with all the guards patrolling around and clearing the area.
Her warm, amber eyes widened slightly as she looked up to find a rift in the air slowly forming and expanding, leaving her panicked at the supernatural event’s emergence as she quickly got up to make some distance.
However, she quickly froze in her tracks as the distinct sound of a young boy screaming echoed from the expanding fissure in the air. Her head snapped toward the rift, her eyes widening as an Atlesian Motorcycle shot out of the gap, accompanied by a young Faunus boy with a raccoon tail and ears.
“-get touched! I’m alive!!!” The boy finished his sentence with fear before exclaiming in happiness as he launched into the air. His joy was short-lived, however, as he began screaming once gravity took hold and dragged him and the Motorcycle to the ground. “I’m gonna die!”
CRASH
The motorcycle crashed directly into a tree while the boy slipped off just before. He fell down the branches and against the bark, releasing a cute ‘oomph’ as he landed face down on the ground.
“... Agito is alive.” He mumbled, likely to himself, as he didn’t know of the rapidly approaching woman with concern. “Agito escaped the Cupcake Woman… The Dr. Drake… The Ms. Beast…”
“Are you hurt??” The woman quickly asked while disregarding his incoherent and likely dazed words as she kneeled next to the raccoon boy, shocking him half to death as he shot up like a firework.
“AHHH! Ava Kris- Oh, never mind, you’re good…” He screamed in horror before calming down as soon as he looked into her eyes as if seeing something that reassured him that she wasn’t a threat. “Hello… I’m fine.”
“You’re very clearly not fine, young man!” The woman scolded, reaching out to gently caress the boy’s raccoon ears as Agito tried to protest, only to immediately melt under her hand’s expertise. “What are you doing with such a high-grade Atlesian vehicle? Don’t you know how much trouble you’ll be in?”
Sss… Boom! Crash!
Just as the woman mentioned the motorcycle, it slowly slid down the branches before crashing into the ground next to Agito, somehow landing on its wheels like a graceful cat.
“But… Rocket isn’t from Mother Russia. Rocket is mine.” The boy protested with a slight pout, making the woman blink in confusion. “Rocket was made for Agito and not by the snow people.”
“You shouldn’t be racist towards the people of Atlas just because they’re not Faunus, young man.” The woman lectured sternly while still caressing his head as she heard Agito’s words towards Atlas, making him blink as he hadn’t even intended to be racist. “How did you come all the way here from Atlas?”
“I wasn’t in Atlas. I was in Vale… I think.” Agito corrected with a slightly tilted head before his eyes closed contently as the woman scratched under his chin. “Summer said so, at least… Are we not in Vale?”
At Agito’s confused inquiry, the woman couldn’t help but laugh softly before shaking her head as if this was the furthest place from Vale.
“My name is Kali Belladonna, young man.” The woman introduced herself with an amused smirk, freezing as the boy showed no hint of recognition on his face and continued relishing her soft caress. “... We’re in Menagerie.”
“Oh… Minority HQ.” Agito let out a sound of understanding as he was told where he ended up, shocking Kali at his description of Menagerie. “... Am I gonna be bullied because I’m double the minority everyone else is?”
“Pfft. You won’t be bullied for having double the Faunus traits, I assure you.” Kali’s shock was momentarily forgotten courtesy of Agito’s follow-up question as she stifled her laughter and shook her head, firmly reassuring him that he would have no issues with that.
“Gaming.” Agito… rejoiced(?) as he finally escaped Kali’s tempting touch in favor of looking around, freezing as he looked at what seemed to be empty space with shock.
“What are you getting distracted by, silly?” Kali reprimanded with a soft smirk as she saw his dazed look, getting his attention as he turned to her with a slow blink. “Won’t you explain to me how you arrived here from Vale? And who’s Summer?”
“Pretty sure I just got immortality.” Agito suddenly announced as Kali stumbled back in confusion. “Okay, so, let me start from the beginning… There I was, sitting amidst the most precious treasure in the world… when this weird woman with silver eyes appeared while wielding an Axe of Promised Death-”
Kali began sweating as she listened to Agito’s embellished tale. This was going to take a while…
…
…
“And so I was like… I’m either gonna take a nap and possibly die, or I’m gonna risk it and run into that glowing cave. And possibly die.” Agito finally finished while gesturing with his hands to emphasize his point. He stared up at Kali from her lap, watching as she smiled down at him in amusement and caressed his hair. “Unfortunately, I died… But then, I lived!”
“Is this where your immortality came from?” Kali asked amusedly as she mentioned Agito’s earlier comment about immortality.
Oh.
Agito blinked.
‘No, that’s something else.’ Agito turned his head to the side, reading the large group of notifications blocking a certain direction of his vision.

‘Agito did what on that last one???’ Agito exclaimed in confusion before coming to a realization. ‘Oh… She used the Ocarina… Why is a Legendary Achievement so cheap!? Hmph.’
Overdrive! [600 CP - Final Fantasy X]
[There’ll come a time when your normal skills, your normal attacks just won’t be enough – there’ll be an enemy that requires something of the next level in order to be surpassed. Unfortunately, in a world like Spira – fighting is ultimately a necessity for survival...and frankly, you’re very likely to meet an enemy that may push you to pull out a trump card.
An “Overdrive” skill is a trump card of sorts – empowering a skill you already possess to the next level. The ritual to do so isn’t nearly as formal as you might think – it usually involves a very odd routine, something for you to decide – perhaps something to make the “Overdrive” personal to you...even if it results in very strange posing, or some bizarre dance. You’ll have a short span of ten seconds where you can perform this routine, but no other skill will have any effect during this time. Immediately afterwards though, you’ll find that the empowered skill will see a substantial increase in terms of its power and effect.
It isn’t called an Overdrive for nothing you know, but you won’t be able to charge Overdrives back to back – it takes a span of time in between.]
[Purchased for 600 CP!]
[1300 CP remaining!]
‘Sunlight Yellow Overdrivuuu!’ Agito didn’t hesitate to buy this perk as soon as it appeared. It was his first purchasable 600 CP perk after the Ocarina, so he was excited to get it after losing the Ocarina.
He didn’t know what he could use it for yet, but Agito wouldn’t pass up on such an ability when he had yet to gain any offensive ability!
Go Thou Far [200 CP - Marvel Zombies]
[You are a trained exorcist. Expelling and expunging all sorts of incorporeal entities controlling someone’s body is something you’re experienced in, as it’s your job to. From weak spirits to the Sorcerer Supreme of the Dark Dimension, there is very, very little that you cannot drive from a mortal vessel. You’re knowledgeable in all the ways a possessing entity might try to deter you - from vomiting invertebrate -filled sludge all over to you to shapeshifting into your dead wife in an attempt to traumatize you - and you’ve got the strength of will to power through all of that to connect with the true owner of the body and excise whatever foul being has invaded them.]
[Skipped!]
Agito probably should’ve gotten this ability, but he instinctively skipped it as soon as he read that there was a chance that he’d get vomited on when performing these exorcisms.
Sure, the ability made sure that he would be able to survive and remain unaffected should he need to perform such a thing… but it’s not like Agito would volunteer to perform an exorcism anyway, right? Can’t answer the call for a doctor in an emergency if you’re not a doctor…
That was the way of the introvert! He will stick to his Engineering and Computer Science, thank you very much.
The one ability that had Agito stumped until now was…
Haven’t Aged A Day [200 CP - Dies Irae]
[The family is always surprised to see you when you come back around to the homeland, especially after a few decades have past and you haven’t aged a day. In fact, you don’t seem to change much at all over time. Even if centuries pass, you won’t change in body, mind or spirit if you don’t want to. Your body does not age, your personality will not change over time and your spirit will not mature nor weaken. You are effectively able to lock yourself at a certain point in time. You can still be wounded or negatively affected by outsiders, though not by time-based effects that would forcibly age or de-age you.]
[Purchase / Skip]
…
This ability would allow Agito to remain alive for as long as he desired, eternally collecting shinies and admiring new things without ever losing his spark and passion for all his hobbies.
He would not age, outliving all the friends he makes as he continues his eternal journey of solitude, collecting everything that catches his eye and admiring all the beauty in the world…
When faced with the temptation of eternal youth, many would fall victim to the irresistible temptation of such a blessing…
And Agito was no different!
[‘Haven’t Aged A Day’ has been Acquired!]
[200 CP Deducted… 1100 CP Remaining!]
‘Gotta Catch ‘Em All! I’m Agito Ketchum, from Pallet Town!’ Agito exclaimed proudly as his youth was made Eternal. He would never wake up with an aching back, complaining about the passage of time… There lies only adventure and collecting shinies for him now.
“No… Agito is just a certain Pokèmon Trainer now.” Agito finally answered Kali after several minutes of silence, watching as she sighed in amused exasperation at his incoherent words once again and continued running her fingers through his hair.
“Should I be glad?” Kali asked simply, like a mother who only wanted to know if she should be happy about the confusing news her child had given her.
“I don’t know.” Agito tilted his head, unsure if this was a development anyone but the recipient would be happy with. “I don’t know if it should make you happy, but I think you should be happy anyway.”

Dust Attunement [300 CP - Endless Legend]
[Dust is naturally drawn to you. Wherever you go, if there is Dust to be had, it will come to you. Swirling in plumes and clouds, the brilliant golden Dust is pulled to you, gathering around and on you. While it may sound messy, are you really going to complain about being powdered in the most precious substance on the planet? Every mile you travel, you find roughly one Dust coin. Staying in one place gives you about 10 a day. This requires Dust to be present of course. It prefers dry, hot places, although it goes congeal around anomalies and buried in stone fields.]
[Purchase / Skip]
And happy Agito was… for about a minute before realizing that this was not the same Dust he knew of in Remnant.
Basically, it was useless!
‘Skip!’

Beneath My Iron Skin [100 CP - MtG - Kamigawa : Neon Dynasty]
[With the many Futurist advancements that have spread throughout the world, one of the most common ones takes the form of mechanical assistance. Metal arms and legs, to replace ones lost to accident or battle, are but the tip of this iceberg. Entirely mechanical suits of armor, known as mechs, mecha, or mechsuits depending on who you ask, are their newest addition to the art of war. To that end, I would offer you one of these - perhaps you seek a High-Speed Hoverbike that would make most Reckoner gangs blush in envy, or the Mobilizer Mech that the Futurists use to control several suits at once. Of course, something more impressive could also be what you seek?
For 100 cp, you may take one such mech that is worth one or two “lands” of mana, as the old magicians would measure it. The above mentioned examples would all fit into this category, as would the seed of potential that is the Mechtitan Core - although, without others to back it up, you may not find much use there.]

[100 CP Deducted… 1000 CP Remaining!]
Kali and Agito blinked simultaneously as an Omnitrix—a wrist bracer of some kind—appeared around Agito’s right wrist. It was made with beautiful silver metal and embroidered with crimson cloth, but the most eye-catching detail was the ethereal golden glow from the energy crystals embedded in the bracelet.
Ok, Agito wasn’t sure if it was a bracelet or a vambrace, but it was shiny, and he loved it.
“... What’s this, Agito?” Kali worriedly grabbed Agito’s arm to ensure he was fine after the item appeared, gasping as the bracer(?) glowed brightly as soon as she touched it. “Agito??”
“Eeeee!” Agito quickly jumped out of Kali’s lap and in the direction of Rocket as the ominous bracelet began glowing, worried that he’d somehow hurt her with his new shiny.
Zyooom!
VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Agito’s body began glowing as the Bracer on his wrist expanded, covering his arm, chest, head, and other limbs before sprouting a pair of wings that glowed and carried Agito into the air. In one hand, he held a glowing spear that promised justice! And in the other, his Relic of Treasures (the trashcan’s lid) stood proudly like a mighty warrior’s trusty shield!
[Imperial Dragonfly Suit: Activated!]
“I will set the Grimm… ablaze!” Agito immediately quipped as he was equipped in his new Mecha Suit. The glowing spear now in his hands shone threateningly as he hovered several feet above the air, staring at his target as he knew what he must do.
“Burn… to Ashes! Overdrive!”
Bringing his spear back while dramatically extending his entire body, Agito activated his new Overdrive ability on his new Dragonfly Suit and dashed forward, slashing at a distant tree away from where Kali was staring up at him in shock.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The force of his swing immediately eviscerated the tree, leaving only leaves and chips of bark behind. The rest of the tree was destroyed and launched away by his impressive might.
“Bring me Salem!” Agito roared with a mechanical voice from inside his mech, standing proudly in the morning sun as he slowly hovered to the ground before smugly turning around to the slowly approaching Kali-
Smack.
“What do you think you’re doing causing damage like this, huh!? Did you think it wouldn’t matter to anyone just because it was a plant? That was a perfectly fine apple tree!” Kali scolded sternly as Agito immediately sat on his knees, lowering his head and retracting his new Mech Armor, which slowly disappeared into the Bracer on his wrist.
“I’m sorry…” Agito sullenly apologized while lowering his head as his raccoon ears drooped sadly. “I got too excited at the shiny… I wasn’t thinking.”
Agito’s quick apology clearly took Kali aback as her scolding immediately came to a pause. She couldn’t resist extending her hand to Agito’s head to gently pat his head as she saw his remorse, kneeling a little with a helpless smile.
“... As long as you learned your lesson, it’s okay.” She gently reassured Agito despite scolding him a mere moment ago, caressing his ears until they perked up again as Agito slowly looked up at her. “Better a tree than a building, honestly… I’m unsure if I should start believing your little ‘story’ about your journey through the ‘Abyss’ with Summer Rose after what you just did.”
“Heh.” Agito couldn’t help the smirk on his face, having told Kali an extremely abridged and embellished story of how he and Summer fell into an ‘Abyss’ and fought off countless Grimm together and how he came to Summer’s aid just as she was about to fall before the ‘Demon Queen.’
After bargaining with the Demon Queen with a priceless artifact he acquired from the ‘Hyrulian Royal Family,’ he managed to save the Strongest Huntress of Remnant before escaping into a lucky portal he found once the Grimm Queen tried to capture him…
With how fictitious and unrealistic his story sounded, Kali did not seem to believe much of what he said.
“Oh, be quiet, you. You’re strong, sure, but you could hardly fight a ‘Demon Queen’ with just that level of strength.” Kali rolled her eyes as she saw Agito’s smugness, smirking and patting Agito’s head again.
“IDS isn’t at full strength, though!” Agito protested with a frown as Kali said he wasn’t strong enough to beat the world’s oldest GILF. Kali only raised an eyebrow, making Agito puff his chest out. “My aura still hasn’t recovered yet, and I can still upgrade IDS with my Runes!”
“Mhm. Your very powerful runes that blew off the ‘Demon Queen’s’ arm, right?” Kali questioned with a teasing smirk as Agito suddenly shut his mouth and lowered his head in embarrassment.
“... Okay, maybe it wasn’t just me that did that… Maybe it was Summer who destroyed it… but it still hit her?” Agito tried to protest, but it only sounded like chuuni ramblings to the laughing Kali.
“Sure, it did… But be honest with me, young man.” Kali shook her amusement and stared into Agito’s eyes sternly, showing her seriousness at the moment. “... Are the motorcycle and the… Armor Suit you have stolen Tech from Atlas?"
“Ugh… Do I look like I’m dressed for snow??” Agito retorted with a frown as Kali gazed down at his relatively light clothes before shaking her head in amusement. “No! Agito didn’t steal them. IDS and Rocket are mine. And it’s not finder keepers this time.”
“This time?” Kali parroted with a blink, but was ignored as Agito escaped her hand’s clutches and moved to Rocket’s side. “Where do you think you’re going, exactly?”
At Kali’s amused inquiry, Agito froze.
“... Which way is Kookoo Kana?” Agito questioned sheepishly while turning around. His butchering of the Menagerie Capital’s name made Kali burst out laughing, a stray tear escaping her eyes as she wiped it away with a smile.
“It’s Kuo Kuana, dear. And it’s not too far from here. I was only out to gather a few berries and fruit for my family.” Kali patiently explained while stepping forward to lead Agito in the right direction, watching as he quickly scurried to Rocket’s side before pulling them along and behind Kali.
Just as Kali was ready to finally appreciate some silence, Agito spoke again.
“So, what high-ranking position does your husband have, Miss Kali?” Agito suddenly asked as Kali froze and turned around in shock. “... What? You’re an Auraless woman out alone in the forest without any fear. You’re also really pretty. It’s pretty obvious why you’re so confident…”
“Hm. It seems that your impressive deductive skills were at least one thing that wasn’t completely fabricated in your tale.” Kali commented with a raised eyebrow before ruffling Agito’s hair before he could act smug. “And who sneaks a compliment like that to a woman? You better not be some type of playboy that likes to capture girls’ hearts…”
“Maybe if the girl was a shiny,” Agito commented thoughtfully as Kali laughed, making him frown as she didn’t take his words seriously. “What’s funny? Inorganic girls are peak.”
“I’ll take your word for it, young man.” Kali humored Agito and gently patted his head. Agito glared but didn’t make any further protests. “To answer your earlier question, my husband is the Chieftain of Menagerie, working directly under the Head of State & Supreme Magistrate Jinhsi to oversee the entirety of Menagerie.”
“I like your funny words, magic lady.” Agito stared blankly at Kali as she spoke of positions and people he didn’t know, making her sigh and pat his head reassuringly. “You don’t give bad vibes, so I think we’re okay.”
“Oh? What makes you say that?” Kali raised a curious eyebrow and smirked at Agito’s observation, interested in why he didn’t seem to care for her status.
“Your eyes aren’t evil. And you don’t give ‘innocent wife married to evil bad guy.’” Agito stated absentmindedly while inspecting the new bracer on his hand as they walked. “Your country is busy taking care of its people. It doesn’t have the time to be too deeply involved with the rest of the world’s drama, not with its relative… newness.”
“And what do you know of the rest of the world’s ‘drama’?” Kali asked with an amused eye-roll as Agito huffed indignantly.
“I stood before the final boss of this world despite having only been here for a week. That’s more than most people could say, dead or alive.” Agito proudly proclaimed while raising his nose as Kali laughed and tilted her head.
“You talk like you’ve only been in this world for a week.” Kali pointed out amusedly.
“True. I’m actually an alien that came from a different planet.” Agito nodded with a serious expression as Kali burst out laughing at his serious confirmation. “Take me to your leader at once.”
“Yes, yes. You’ll meet my husband soon, Mr. Alien.” Kali retorted playfully while stepping forward as they finally approached a clearing in the heavy forestry. “We’re finally here.”
As Agito stepped into the light, he was met with the beautiful sight of a massive civilization unlike any he had ever seen before. He expected Kuo Kuana to be quite primitive due to Summer's description, stating that it was much less developed than any of the four main settlements. Yet, it was still beyond any city he had seen in his previous world, with its beautiful buildings and advanced technology floating everywhere.
The only other city he had seen in this world was the ruined and abandoned city Summer found him in, so the sight of the bustling and lively capital city was quite breathtaking.
“Pretty.” Agito complimented curtly, getting a proud chuckle from Kali as she nodded.
“It is, isn’t it? I bet you haven’t seen this many Faunus in one place before in Vale, have you?” Kali smugly questioned while moving closer to Agito and placing a hand on his shoulder to avoid losing him in the crowd.
“I haven’t seen any Faunus except myself before. You’re the first one I ever saw.” Agito stated with a blank deadpan as Kali froze and turned to look at his face to try and tell if it was one of his ‘chuuni lies’.
“Oh… Oh dear.” Kali wasn’t quite sure of what to say about that, closing her mouth for a few seconds before smirking and pinching Agito’s cheek. “Ho?~ Doesn’t this make me something of a mother for you, then? After all, I’m the woman who has known you for the longest and the first Faunus you’ve ever seen.”
“Summer has known me for longer, but she’s not a Faunus.” Agito reminded thoughtfully before pausing, acquiescing to Kali’s point as he realized Summer wasn’t a minority like he was.
‘Lucky… err, woman.’
Actually, Agito gave no fucks.
‘Lucky bitch. Silver Eyed Privilege.’
Shaking my tail…
“People keep staring at me,” Agito commented with a hint of annoyance and discomfort as Kali gave him a sympathetic smile. “I’m gonna bomb their houses.”
“Agito, no.” Kali smacked Agito’s head lightly with a stern frown, knowing well what he could do with his Mecha Suit.
Many people stared at Agito as he walked past them deeper into the capital city. You couldn’t really blame them, as Agito was basically a walking billboard of ‘what the fuck am I seeing.’
Not only was he a Faunus with double the traits, but he was also holding an extremely advanced-looking Atlesian motorcycle and was walking next to Kali Belladonna, wife of the Chieftain of Kuo Kauna.
His unique features, like his pure white hair and molten golden eyes, were also enough to get a few looks by themselves…
There was also the trashcan lid on his waist.
“It’s fine. You’ll get used to stares like that over time, okay?” Kali comforted as she continued leading him to the center of the giant city, doing her best to resist the urge to glare at the people staring at Agito.
“Okay…” Agito agreed quietly.
…
…
[A while later...]
The two eventually made their way into a less crowded and more beautiful area of the settlement. Kali greeted several unique-looking people along the way but excused herself from their conversations because she didn’t want to burden Agito.
Agito simply sighed in relief at avoiding the dreadful situation of your mom meeting a friend in the supermarket.
At least his new immortality would come in clutch? By the time Kali would be done, he’d still be the same age… Not several decades older.
“Is this the place?” Agito eventually asked as Kali stopped him in front of a lavish metal gate with two guards standing at attention, his ears drooping slightly as his pupils widened. “Wait, why am I here again…?”
Agito’s innocence and confusion as he asked left Kali stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing again.
“Pfft… You didn’t think to ask where I was leading you this entire time?” Kali stifled her laughter as Agito suddenly asked why Kali brought him here, his indignant face only making her laugh more. “Where else were you going to go?”
Agito frowned and turned away.
“I could go anywhere I want,” Agito commented confidently as Kali rolled her eyes and waved to the guards at the gate, making them obediently open the gates despite their suspicious gaze on Agito and his motorcycle. “Who’s gonna stop me?”
“Just come inside already.” Kali sighed in exasperation despite the smirk on her face, leading Agito down a beautiful path to a lavish mansion adorned with many beautiful decorations and with some servants standing or running around.
It was more grand than anything Agito had seen before, but that wasn’t exactly much of an achievement when it came to Agito.
Nothing could top the inside of a trashcan for Agito, after all.
“... Is there anywhere with an area big enough for me to train and try out my IDS?” Agito asked curiously while letting go of Rocket at an area far enough away not to get in the way of anyone else, quickly moving to Kali’s side afterward to ask.
He wasn’t worried that Rocket would be stolen. Rocket would find their way back to him from anywhere.
“And who are you going to be training with, exactly? It’s not like you have anyone to practice with in the first place.~” Kali teased playfully while ruffling Agito’s hair as he narrowed his eyes at her.
‘Roll something for me! I demand a pet that is strong enough for me to fight and practice against!’ Agito demanded from the point thingy as it immediately activated as per his command.

Ripper Gang [600 CP - Fate/Legends - God Save the Queen]
[With how few clues they have, there’s really no reason that Jack must have been merely a single person. Some believe that, if anything, it is much more likely that it was a group who undertook his crimes, connected or not. Whatever the truth is, you should be used by now to the idea that it’ll be to your benefit. These careless theories mean that you can translate your being into the form of a group, as Jack was believed to be.
By expending a small amount of your magical energy, you can create a fully identical clone of your current form, controlled by your mind as your identity spreads across this group. The more energy you spend, the more clones are made, and each one is a ‘main body’ as part of the Ripper. Even if your original form is killed, one of your clones will immediately be treated as having always been your primary body. It is even possible to draw on magical energy from outside sources to create more clones. However, the cost of each clone will raise as your current form’s strength does.
While the cost is exceedingly efficient and the increases due to form power are minor, even a notable magus of the modern age could support two hundred demonic Ripper forms for a time, it will eventually begin to strain the source. Clones largely rely on the initial energy investment and take only a small amount to maintain longer term, since they do not naturally produce more energy on their own as most magi do, barring specific abilities you have.
You can choose the ‘current form’ that the clones are replicated from, which decides how much energy is required per clone. They might be of different alternate forms you can take on or just weaker versions of your current one.]

[A/N: I just want to say, Gerald is a lucky FUCKING bitch. Oh my god. He has rolled like 6 times now, and EVERY SINGLE ONE has been a 600 CP ability/item. With the exception of ONE. And guess what the horny bastard rolled for that single one that wasn’t 600 CP? The fucking GENDERBENDING GUN.]
Agito’s first thought: ‘Oh dear god… The Great Wall of Text!’
Agito’s second thought…
“Miss Kali… Am I a pet?” Agito murmured sullenly as Kali blinked in confusion at his sudden mood change.
“You’re certainly cute enough to pass for one.~” Kali teased, unaware of the devastating blow to Agito’s psyche that she just inflicted upon his poor, poor soul… “Why do you ask?”
Agito didn’t answer, crouching directly in front of the front entrance and hugging his knees into his chest as he stared at the ground depressively.
[‘Ripper Gang’ has been Acquired!]
[600 CP Deducted… 400 CP Remaining!]
Kali gasped as a second Agito suddenly appeared next to him, huddling next to him and hugging his knees into his chest as well. The two of them sulked together, their ears drooped and tail swaying sadly…
“It’s like Blake…” Kali murmured with an indescribable voice as she stared at the Duoito intently.
Duoito? Agitwo?
Agitwo!
“I’m not sure if I should be swooning or panicking at the fact that there are two of you now,” Kali murmured with amusement as she leaned down to gently pat Agitwo’s heads, comforting him from his obvious depressive episode. “There, there. If it makes you feel better, I think you’d be an amazing little pet, Agito.~”
[Acquiring…]
Teleportation Circle [300 CP - Ragna Crimson]
[A large-scale teleportation circle that can be used to move around the globe, even allowing for multiple people and objects to be transported in one go, provided enough magic is fed to it to activate it. Rather than this being a stationary item, you gain the blueprints and resources to deploy one of these per month. Its quality is similar to the ones that Crimson makes.]

Agitwo suddenly raised their heads at Kali with an indignant glare, finally getting a feeling of initiative with this new ability.
“I don’t like it here! I’m going back to Vale!”

I wrote everything I wanted to say up there so... Uh... Bon Appetite? Among us.
Oh yeah, stolen directly from my conversation with Anon, my beta:
"Throughout the Heavens and Earth, Agito alone is the GROOMED ONE!"

LOL read this series again, peak.

Pffft we'll have to see on the first one. As for the latter, Agito may not seek, but he will definitely be found... Probably in a trash can.

Loving the story. Immortality get. So is he going to allow himself to age up to like teenager age? Or is he going to just be eternally groomed by MILFs? I realize with his shiny fetish Penny is really the only one he can have a “relationship” with, unless you added more shiny waifus with the AU. Either way I can’t wait for more chapters.

Love this, trash panda chaos is best chaos. I imgaine him setting up teleportation circles at both Summer and Kalis houses so when he feels bullied at one he can go to the other for a break only to get bullied with headpats again. Can't wait for more, thanks for the chapter!
